Default Samsung HD841

My RCA DLP has a DVI input which is connected through the DISH HD satellite reviever. I recently purchased a Samsung HD841 DVD player, which also has a DVI input. I am currently using the component connections, but want to connect the DVI to the TV using a DVI switcher. Will I see a noticable improvement in picture quality with the DVI setup, to justify the cost of the DVI switcher,,which is $200. Does anyone have this setup,,and is it worth doing??

I have my Dish 811 hooked to my Sony using the component inputs. Then I have the Samsung HD841 hooked to the Sony using a DVI to HDMI cable.

Yes you will see a difference. I set the HD841 to 720p.

FYI, there is supposed to be a firmware update for this player to resolve some intial problems with it.

Go to the Download Center at samsung.com. Select

Product Group = Audio and Video
Product Type = DVD Player
Product Subtype = Hi-Def Conversion
Model Name = DVD-HD841

Then click on the firmware tab. Make sure you download the instructions as well.

I got an email saying they were going to send out a CD with the upgrade. So far I have not received it....
